This is RMF 1254.Which was built as a demonstrator
in 1962. It went to several operators around the country. From 1964 to
1966 it was trialed as an airport bus for BEA, in which it towed trailers
from the West London Air Terminal to Heathrow Airport. It was a success
and 65 similar vehicles were ordered, but these were of the standard 27ft
6in type as seen the above photographs. In November 1966 it was sold to
Northern General where it joined their own RMF's and remained in service
there for a further 13 years.
